I've seen a bunch of my favorite blogging ladies doing this lately and I figured it'd be fun to share a little bit about myself too! It's been so fun reading about everyone else and why they started blogging so hopefully mine will be interesting to you as well!
Name // Age // Location
Haha this totally reminds me of way back in the day during the online chat world... oh jeez. I'm probably totally making myself look old huh? I'm Pamela and I recently turned 30. I currently live in Orlando, Florida but I was born a midwesterner in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Family
I'm an only child, which explains why I hate sharing... just kidding! I really am an only child but my parents definitely didn't spoil me. I did get amazing vacations but that comes as a perk of being a child of parents who work in the airline industry. I don't have any children myself but I do have an amazing little family that consists of my husband and my ridiculously adorable fur baby.
{Yeah, he knows he's cute}
Working For The Weekend
I work for a social media marketing agency which is actually how I got into blogging! When you talk to social influencers (bloggers, tweeters, instagrammers etc) all day errrryyyyyday you can't not have an interest in it. It's crazy how influential bloggers can be and it's been so fun getting to see the marketing and advertising side from this angle.
Hobbies
Blogging has definitely turned into one of my favorite hobbies! Obviously football is a huge hobby of mine... wait, does it count as a hobby if I'm watching it not actually doing it? I love traveling and shopping... of course! I also have an unhealthy obsession with animals.
{I know zoos are horrible but where else am I going to get to see a wallaby up close?}
Favorite Food
Oh jeez... this is such a tough question. Mashed potatoes for sure. Cheese. Anything with cheese on it/in it... mac and cheese, cheese fries, mozzarella sticks, fried cheese curds, etc. Biscuits and gravy. Fried chicken. I'm such a southern girl at heart. I spent some summers visiting relatives in Alabama so I blame that.
Standard Bar Order
Lately I've been on a champagne kick. Thank you Jill for that! But I also love beer and white wine. Preferably Riesling or a good Belgian beer. And of course the occasional margarita or bellini.
Shopping
Umm anywhere and everywhere?!? I generally prefer to online shop... I'm not good a digging for things and I get overwhelmed in places like Forever21 and H&M. I love little boutiques like Sophie & Trey and 4th & Ocean (here in Orlando). I love J.Crew, Nordstrom, Zara, Urban Outfitters, Target, Forever21, H&M, Hollister, etc.
Bed Time // Wake Up Time
This is a random question! I usually try to be in bed between 10 and 11 pm. Feel free to call me old but 6 am comes mighty early! Some days I take a spinning class before work, on those days I get up at 4:30 am. Usually on the weekends I'll sleep in until 6:45 am or if I'm really lucky 7 am!
Beauty Products I Can't Live Without
Nail polish for sure. I can't stand seeing someone with crazy chipped nails. I usually will paint my nails like 3-4 times a week. The second I have a chip it has to be redone. This is probably why I never get manicures. Liquid eyeliner, mascara, and blush are definitely my favorite make up products.
What I Blog About
I started my blog as mainly a fashion and beauty blog but recently I've gotten more into lifestyle. I still do a lot of fashion and beauty posts but it's been fun to mix it up and blog about other things such as food and what I've been doing recently. I love sharing my fashion posts but they are definitely much harder to plan out so I have a feeling (especially during football season) you might see more lifestyle posts!
How I Started Blogging // Why I Blog
Like I said earlier, working for a social media marketing company you're around blogs every day and that's what really sparked my interest. I'd be working with one of our bloggers on something and then I'd get lost on their blog for awhile just reading their posts. At first I never thought I'd have anything interesting people would want to read about then one of our bloggers came in to do a Q&A session with some of us and she gave me that push to start my own blog. She's the reason I keep a lot of my person life "anonymous" on my blog and definitely gave me ideas on how to start my blog. There are times where I've found it to be overwhelming, especially balancing my social life, work life and my blogging life but I've gained so many amazing friendships through my blog that I couldn't imagine not talking to some of you ladies (or reading your blogs) regularly! I'm so thankful for everyone who visits and takes the time to comment on my blog... ya'll are awesome!
Hope you guys enjoyed getting to learn a little more about me! :)
I love this!! Of course we're totally the same when it comes to nail polish - you should do a post on your polish collection!! As for cheese - I think adding cheese to anything -except dessert - makes it better!! I'm so happy that you started a blog and even more excited that I get to see you on Saturday!! xo
I love this post! It is so nice to get to know the lady behind the awesome blog! :) I don't know how you get up at 4:30 am to work out!! I am very impressed haha
Love these! I had no idea you were married and had a furbabe! What a cutie!! That's so awesome that you work for a social media company, and makes sense as to why your blog is so put together! And getting up at 4:30 am to work out is inspiring!! That's amazing girl!
cute post! my best friend is from cincy :) and im with you cheese + biscuits are the best!! you sound like you have the best job!! xo jillian - cornflake dreams
You know I'm stealing this, first of all. Second of all, I am digging the lifestyle-ish posts lately. PS I still need a text with the new hair!! Or is that tonight. Memory is terrible. xo
I love these posts! So fun to get to know you a little better - I love all your favorite foods a.k.a. cheese curds. You'll always be a Midwestern girl at heart! :)
Oh I totally second Kerri's post I need a text with hair pictures!! That picture with the blush shirt and the sun coming through is perfection! I loved reading this post! Mashes potatoes and pretty much anything covered in cheese you know I'm down with!
So great to get to know more about you! I remain fairly anonymous in the blogging world as well, but it's still fun to get little glimpses behind the scenes. Your dog seriously could not be cuter!
4:30am is eeearlyy - good for you!! I don't paint my nails that often but I'm with you on loving polishes.. I love changing up the colour and always having my nails done! :) And yup - I could put cheese on everything (I often do haha)...yum!!
Definitely enjoyed it! I liked learning about your job :) I have always loved your blog- I'm definitely enjoying the "lifestyle" side you've added to it, I always love it all!
Loved this! I'm the same way about my nails, as soon as I see a chip I feel like it's time to start from scratch. I get pedicures, but will only get a gel mani if I'm going on a trip. Otherwise, I paint them myself at home so that I don't feel like $$ just went down the drain when they chip only a few days later :-P
Loved this! I am totally with you on mashed potatoes being my favorite food and I have the kindergarten questionaire/survey to prove it. lol I'm totally with you on online shopping. I've always kind of had certain things in mind that I want when it comes to shopping and when I was younger I often left the mall empty handed. Online shopping is perfect because you can find exactly what your looking for. XO
I am so glad you did this post--so fun to get a behind the scenes! Like how did I not know you were married?! I don't blame you for keeping a lot private tho--its a weird internet out there ha!
Yay i'm so glad you did this post! i am maybe probably one day going to do one as well. um you can go to australia, thats where! :-P or kentucky down under, if you're ever down there lol. mashed potatoes - um yum! although i'll never say no to any kind of potato. yum. um so i kinda hope we never meet now. my nails are always atrocious. no matter what i do, seriously, no matter what i do, they chip immediately. i even had shellac done and they peeled (3 separate times!) within a week. i even took my nail polish with me one day and touched it up during the day and i touched it up like 10 times, seriously! what am i supposed to do?!
I am so glad you did this! :) I loved learning more about you. My favorite food is hands down mashed potatoes....I was always the weird one growing up that said that...no one else seemed to share my intense love for them! Haha. Watching football is definitely a hobby in my book! Loved what you said about why you started your blog....couldn't agree more with the connections made and the love for posting! :) xo Erin www.winkandatwirl.com
I love these posts! It's so fun to get to know more about other bloggers. And please advise what zoo let you touch a wallaby because I need to go there asap!
I absolutely LOVED getting to know you more through this post! You are seriously the cutest! And seriously, I have such an unhealthy relationship with animals! Whenever I see one of the side of the road I always have to make sure they get home safely, my husband hates it, ha! xo TJ
Love this post!! I honestly had no idea you were married and I can't believe you're 30!! You look 25! I am definitely going to have to do a similar post one day!
I'm right there with you about the cheese obsession. I never met a cheese I didn't like. And props to you for being so disciplined with your bedtime/wake-up routine! I am super impressed!
Love this! I'm with you on the cheese obsession! The struggle is real! Lol :) I laughed at the first part... I totally thought of that too. Wasn't it called "ASL" age sex location?! Hahaha!
Your job sounds SO fun! I would loooooove to do something like that! Call me crazy, but I'm not really a fan of cheese. (You're calling me crazy right now, I know it!) Don't worry though, I'm raising my daughter right! She's obsessed with cheese... in fact! She just learned to say that word over the weekend :) It's adorable! LOVED getting to know you better!
Love getting to know you a little better and hearing how you got into blogging!! Sounds like you have an awesome job and get to work with and meet some really fun people!! I bet you could teach us all a few things after interviewing and working with other bloggers.
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment on my blog,I love hearing from my readers! I try to reply to every comment via e-mail so if you don't get a reply from me you might be a no reply blogger!
{ via } Happy Halloween babes! It's a bittersweet day since tomorrow means my favorite season is officially over. I'll be soa...
